What to Expect in Da Nang Flower Market?

The Da Nang Flower Market refers to the flower market before the Lunar New Year (Tet) in Da Nang city. It’ll be the biggest flower market of the year, where buyers and visitors have the chance to all typical flowers and plants used during the festival. For that reason, besides buying something, lots of people come here to soak in the festive atmosphere, take commemorative photos, and seek moments of peace and hope for a prosperous year ahead.
